Phenotypic plasticity enables plants to buffer against environmental stresses and match their
phenotypes to local conditions. However, consistent conclusive evidence for adaptive …

Transgenerational plasticity (TGP) allows a plant to acclimate to external variable
environments and is a potential mechanism that explains the range expansion and invasion …

Current knowledge on responses of aquatic clonal plants to resource availability is largely
based on studies manipulating limited resource levels, which may have failed to capture the …

Wetlands are one of the ecosystems most easily and severely invaded by alien species.
Biological invasions can have significant impacts on local plant communities and ecosystem …

Riparian plants are exposed to harmful stress induced by flooding, which is often
accompanied by eutrophication in the Three Gorges Reservoir Region. The phenomenon is …

Journal of Plant Ecology (JPE) was founded in 2008. It is sponsored by the Botanical Society
of China and the Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and published by Oxford …

Parental effects can influence offspring fitness, which may further impact interspecific
competition. However, few studies have tested the role of clonal parental effects in …

Environmental conditions of a parent plant can influence the performance of their clonal
offspring, and such clonal transgenerational effects may help offspring adapt to different …

Environments experienced by parental plants may potentially influence the performance of
their offspring. These effects may also vary depending on the current environment …

Aims Plants with a history of overgrazing show trait-mediated legacy effects. These legacy
effects strongly influence the growth dynamics and stress tolerance of plants, thus affecting …
